LRFD Design Example for Steel Girder Superstructure Bridge
A Comprehensive Design Example for a Steel Girder Bridge with Commentary
by Michael Baker Jr., Inc., November 2003
FHWA / National Highway Institute , Washington, DC - SI Units
Purpose
The purpose of this this book is to provide a basic design example for a steel girder bridge as an informational tool for the practicing bridge engineer. The example is also aimed at assisting the bridge engineer with the transition from Load Factor Design (LFD) to Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD).
AASHTO References
For uniformity and simplicity, this design example is based on the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications (Second Edition, 1998, including interims for 1999 through 2002). References to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications are included throughout the design example. AASHTO references are presented in a dedicated column in the right margin of each page, immediately adjacent to the corresponding design procedure.
